A Second Chance Chapter 9 Gin's Story

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Rangiku Matsumoto was walking to Orihime's apartment. She was sent to the human world for a little while to attend an AAA meeting, a.k.a. Association of Assistance for Alcoholics.

'Great, I have a few drinks more than usual and suddenly I'm stuck in the human world with a bunch of human alcoholics.' Rangiku thought darkly. This was all Yumichika's fault. If he just stopped resisting, and just gone along with her crazy drunk plans she wouldn't be stuck in the human world, he would still have both of his feathers, division 11's barracks wouldn't have been destroyed and Captain Zaraki, Captain Ukitake, Captain Hitsugaya, and Captain Bykuaya would still have hair. As she walked by an orchard, she started to tear as she saw a persimmon tree. She remembered Gin and the day they first met. She was little and starving and he had given her some of his persimmons. Her eyes brightened as she remembered their friendship, then darkened as she remembered his death.

She was kneeling in pain on the ground before Aizen, she was defenseless as her zanpakto was taken by Tousen. She had looked at Gin, whose eyes were wide and clouded with fear and horror, his signature smile gone. Suddenly, his eyes cleared and his lips curled into a small, sad smile. She knew what Gin was going to do.

"GIN, NO," She screamed with what was sure to be her final breath. Gin smiled sadly again and she turned to face Aizen again. Aizen smiled and thrust his sword forward. Aizen smiled bigger as he felt it hit something solid. As a scream rang out loud throughout the silent clearing, Aizen frowned as he saw not Rangiku impaled on his sword, but a grinning Gin, with Rangiku kneeling next to him screaming in horror. Aizen looked at the still grinning Gin in anger. Ichigo then burst out of nowhere and attacked Aizen. As the two battlers disappeared, Rangiku took Gin into her arms, and sobbed,

"Gin, no Gin. Why did you do this,"

"What did you except me to do," a weak voice said, "As if I would just stand by and watch you die." Gin smiled once again. Rangiku sobbed more and held Gin close to her. "Ran, before I die, I need to tell you something important." Gin whispered.

"Save your breath, you stupid foxface, you're not going to die." Rangiku said between tears. Gin's lips moved but she couldn't hear what he was saying. She leaned closer.

"I love you," Gin said with his final breath. He stopped breathing and his lips curves up into their natural smile, but a less creepy version.

"NO...NO, NO, NO, NO," Rangiku screamed, he had given his life for her and she didn't even get to tell him she loved him back. She held him close and cried. Then Rangiku looked up and screamed with rage. What had happened next was nothing short of legendary.

She single-handedly destroyed Tousen and Barragan in her rage and then she tried to get to Aizen. She was unstoppable but Aizen was killed by Ichigo before she could get to him. She screamed again in rage as she was denied the life of the man who had killed the man she loved. Broken, she went back to Gin's body. She laid next to his and curled his arm around her and just laid there. After the battle was over no one knew what to do for the grieving woman.

Suddenly, a silver light shone and shimmered as the form of a young woman was distinctly seen. Then all the bodies except for Aizen, Yammy, and Zommari were lifted into the air surrounded by a silver glow. Rangiku screamed and struggled to stay with Gin's body but she was stopped by a silver hand which rested on her shoulder. She turned to see a kind face. The woman was smiling gently as Rangiku let go of Gin and all the bodies disappeared. The woman smiled and nodded at Rangiku then disappeared into the moon.

Rangiku wiped away a tear as she looked hard at the persimmon tree. Suddenly, she saw a white blur sneaking closer to the tree. It didn't seem to notice her as it scarfed down a persimmon. As it came closer she saw it was a white fox. In the light its fur appeared to have a touch of barely noticeable lavender. She looked at it's face, and noticed with shock that it appeared to be smiling. She shook her head once or twice to make sure she wasn't imagining it. She looked back and saw the fox was gone. She sighed in relief and kneeled down to pick up a persimmon. She turned to look into two big orbs of red. The fox jumped and fled into the forest coming back once of twice for fallen persimmons. Rangiku stared in shock then laughed for the first time she wasn't drunk since Gin's death. The fox came crawling cautiously back and yelped and tried to escape as Rangiku grabbed him and hugged him to her chest.

"You are too CUTE," Rangiku screamed in joy as she then decided to take him home. She grabbed a leash that she conveniently had with her and dragged the fox to Orihime's apartment

"ORIHIME," Orihime jumped up from feeding ill Ulqui fruit to see a grinning Rangiku in her doorway holding some floppy white thing to her chest.

"Rangiku...what is that" Orihime said forgetting her joy at seeing Rangiku laugh when she wasn't drunk.

"This is Grin, he is my new pet. Isn't he adorable?" Rangiku said. Orihime got a good look at the struggling fox and giggled with Rangiku at the cuteness of Grin.

"And this is Ulqui," Orihime said proudly as she showed Ran her new pet. Before he could fly off, Orihime grabbed him and said, "LETS PLAY DRESS-UP," Rangiku smiled hugely, 'this is way better that AAA,'

Orihime came down the stairs with Ulqui stuffed into a polka dotted sundress and Grin in a Tux. Rangiku squealed with joy and hugged Grin to her chest.

"YOU TWO LOOK SO CUTE!" Rangiku yelled as she snapped several pictures. Suddenly she looked at her watch and said, "Orihime can you watch Grin for a little while, I have to go to my AAA meeting."

"Of course just leave them to me," Orihime shouted excitedly. Rangiku smiled then blew Grin a kiss and ran out the door. Orihime yawned and said, "You two behave for a little bit imma gonna take a nap. Nigh-Night," Bat and Fox looked at each other as Orihime quickly fell asleep.

"Ulquiorra? Is that ya?" The fox asked,

"Yes, Gin, this is my temporary form." Ulquiorra stated blankly.

"Yep ya're Ulquiorra all right, or should I say Ulqui now," Gin asked mischievously.

"I do not know...Grin," Ulquiorra deadpanned. Gin frowned and said

"Touché, wait did ya make a joke?" Gin asked shocked as he started laughing. Ulquiorra mentally face palmed. It figures that of all the espada he'd be stuck with Foxface.

"So, anyway, do ya know where we are?" Gin asked.

"We are in the woman's apartment, I am a bat and you are a white fox. I found the woman and you were found by the woman with immense strangling power." Ulquiorra said. Gin laughed and said,

"That she does."

"Do you know where and what the other espada are?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Some, Stark and Lillynette are wolves, Harribel is a shark, Aaroniero separated into Aaron and Niero and are fish and fish tank, Barragan is a little Lego man, Tousen is a pair of bongos in Jamaica, and get this, Nnorita is a SPOON, hahaha that was good, he begged meh to kill him but I jus couldn't do it." Gin laughed.

"How did you know Tousen was in Jamaica," Ulquiorra asked confused.

"Get this...he sent a postcard, is that funny or wha, hahaha" Gin broke down in more giggles. He regurgitated a slimy postcard and showed Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra curled his lip at the smell and looked at the picture which was a pair of bongos with the words,

"Wish You Were Here, love Tousen." Ulquiorra lifted an eyebrow and gave it back to Gin, who swallowed it again. Ulquiorra shuddered.

"Szayel and Grimmjow?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Haven't found them, I was interrupted in my search by my need for persimmons, then I found by Ran-chan," Gin said. "Nice dress" Ulquiorra groaned inwardly and sighed...This was going to be a long night.
